Career

Competitive career

Camerlengo competed with Stefania Calegari for around ten years. They won gold medals at the 1990 Skate America, 1990 Grand Prix International de Paris, and 1991 Skate Canada International, a silver medal at the 1992 Nations Cup, and bronze medals at the 1990 and 1991 NHK Trophy. In 1992, they achieved their highest results at the European Championships and World Championships, placing fourth at both events. They also competed at the 1992 Winter Olympics and finished fifth. They retired from competition in 1993.

In 1996, Camerlengo returned to competition with new partner Diane Gerencser. They were coached by Muriel Boucher-Zazoui in Villard-de-Lans and Lyon.[1] The duo placed 11th at the 1997 European Championships and 17th at the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan.[2] They retired from competition after the 1998 World Championships.

Coaching and choreography

Camerlengo began choreographing in the early 1990s, doing parts of his own programs.[3] After his first retirement from competition in 1993, Carlo Fassi hired him to do choreography for his students; Camerlengo worked in Milan for two years.[3]

After his final retirement, Boucher-Zazoui invited Camerlengo to work alongside her in Lyon.[3][4] He also coached for a year in Berlin, Germany, and then moved to Delaware.[5] Since September 2006, he works as a coach at the Detroit Skating Club in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, in collaboration with former World champion ice dancer, Anjelika Krylova.[5][6] He also collaborates with Massimo Scali, Natalia Annenko-Deller, and Elizabeth Punsalan.[6]

Personal life

Camerlengo and Anjelika Krylova are married with two children, Stella Camerlengo (born on July 24, 2005) and Anthony Camerlengo (born on September 10, 2007). Stella and Anthony now live in Moscow with Anjelika, while Pasquale comes to visit them every couple months. Stella says, "It's hard being away from one parent, especially in a country with a completely different culture from the United States. I go to an English school though, which is comfortable for me because I have some English speaking friends."
